A favorite spot of mine for a fast fishing trip is the Elora Gorge. The spot I favor is really outside of the conservation area and may be easily accessed from the parking lot just off the major street in Elora, by the bridge. If you park there and walk along the great River, you’ll find a trail that leads you by the falls the old mill dam and down into the gorge. This is the spot you’ll find people launching canoes and kayaks to take a run through the Gorge, however I go here to fish. At this spot, Irvine Creek runs into the great and there’s an excellent pool of brown trout. You may be able to easily fish from shore and get a good bite. (argosgirloutdoors.com)

The target species was crappie. One angler, but, kept catching perch. Unfortunately perch didn’t count towards the draw prize. He had a great sense of humor about it although. Towards the end of the derby, with the hot sun warming up the water, the crappies turned up and some anglers managed to catch a mess of fish with minutes left in the derby. Thanks to our great sponsors, there were many prizes to give out. It made for a great atmosphere. Some anglers who won many prizes showed great generosity of spirit by giving some away to the younger kids who weren’t so lucky. (realmenhamilton.tv)
